description
The TPA0172 is a stereo audio power amplifier in a 24-pin TSSOP thermally enhanced package capable of
delivering 2 W of continuous RMS power per channel into 4-Ω loads. This device utilizes the I2C bus to control
its functionality, which minimizes the number of external components needed, simplifies the design, and frees
up board space for other features. When driving 1 W into 8-Ω speakers, the TPA0172 has less than 0.2% THD+N
from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Included within this device is integrated depop circuitry that virtually eliminates transients that cause noise in
the speakers at power up, power down, and while transitioning in and out of shutdown mode.
The overall gain of the amplifier is controlled digitally by the volume control registers which are programmed
via the I2C interface. At power up, the amplifier defaults to –60 dB in BTL mode, or –66 dB in SE mode. There
are four registers that contain the gains: left BTL, right BTL, left SE, and right SE. Each register contains six bits,
which allows 64 gain steps from –60 dB to 20 dB in 1.25-dB steps, and two bits that mute the amplifier.
The TPA0172 only consumes 6.5 mA of supply current during normal operation. A shutdown mode is included
that reduces supply current to less than 15 µA.
The PowerPAD package (PWP) delivers a level of thermal performance that was previously achievable on
TO-200-type packages. Thermal impedances of approximately 35°C/W are truly realized in multilayer PCB
applications. This allows the TPA0172 to operate at full power into 8-Ω loads at ambient temperatures of 85°C.

input resistance
Each gain setting is achieved by varying the input resistance of the amplifier, which can range from its smallest
value to over six times that value. As a result, if a single capacitor is used in the input high-pass filter, the –3 dB

APPLICATION INFORMATION
input capacitor, CI (continued)
In this example, CI is 0.47 µF so one would likely choose a value in the range of 0.47 µF to 1 µF. A further
consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network (CI) and the
feedback network to the load. This leakage current creates a dc offset voltage at the input to the amplifier that
reduces useful headroom, especially in high gain applications. For this reason a low-leakage tantalum or
ceramic capacitor is the best choice. When polarized capacitors are used, the positive side of the capacitor
should face the amplifier input in most applications, as the dc level there is held at VDD/2, which is likely higher
than the source dc level. Note that it is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application.
power supply decoupling, CS
The TPA0172 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling
to ensure the output total harmonic distortion (THD) is as low as possible. Power supply decoupling also
prevents oscillations for long lead lengths between the amplifier and the speaker. The optimum decoupling is
achieved by using two capacitors of different types that target different types of noise on the power supply leads.
For higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resistance
(ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 0.1 µF placed as close as possible to the device VDD lead works best. For
filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a larger aluminum electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF or greater placed near
the audio power amplifier is recommended.
midrail bypass capacitor, CBYP
The midrail bypass capacitor (CBYP) is the most critical capacitor and serves several important functions. During
start-up or recovery from shutdown mode, CBYP determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up. The second
function is to reduce noise produced by the power supply which is caused by coupling into the output drive
signal. This noise is from the midrail generation circuit internal to the amplifier, which appears as degraded
PSRR and THD+N.
Bypass capacitor (CBYP) values of 0.47-µF to 1-µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are recommended
for the best THD and noise performance.
output coupling capacitor, CC
In the typical single-supply SE configuration, an output coupling capacitor (CC) is required to block the dc bias
at the output of the amplifier, thus preventing dc currents in the load. As with the input coupling capacitor, the
output coupling capacitor and impedance of the load form a high-pass filter governed by equation 4.
–3 dB

The main disadvantage, from a performance standpoint, is the load impedances are typically small, which drives
the low-frequency corner higher degrading the bass response. Large values of CC are required to pass low
frequencies into the load. Consider the example where a CC of 330 µF is chosen and loads vary from 3 Ω,
4 Ω, 8 Ω, 32 Ω, 10 kΩ, and 47 kΩ. Table 1 summarizes the frequency response characteristics of each
configuration.

As Table 1 indicates, most of the bass response is attenuated into a 4-Ω load, an 8-Ω load is adequate,

using low-ESR capacitors
Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this applications section. A real (as opposed to ideal)
capacitor can be modeled simply as a resistor in series with an ideal capacitor. The voltage drop across this
resistor minimizes the beneficial effects of the capacitor in the circuit. The lower the equivalent value of this
resistance the more the real capacitor behaves like an ideal capacitor.
bridged-tied load versus single-ended mode
Figure 22 shows a linear audio power amplifier (APA) in a bridged-tied load (BTL) configuration. The TPA0172
BTL amplifier consists of two class-AB amplifiers driving both ends of the load. There are several potential
benefits to this differential drive configuration, but initially consider power to the load. The differential drive to
the speaker means that as one side is slewing up, the other side is slewing down, and vice versa. This in effect
doubles the voltage swing on the load as compared to a ground referenced load. Plugging 2 × VO(PP) into the
power equation, where voltage is squared, yields 4× the output power from the same supply rail and load
impedance (see equation 5).

Figure 22. Bridge-Tied Load Configuration
In a typical computer sound channel operating at 5 V, bridging raises the power into an 8-Ω speaker from a
singled-ended (SE, ground reference) limit of 250 mW to 1 W. In sound power that is a 6-dB improvement —
which is loudness that can be heard. In addition to increased power, there are frequency response concerns.
Consider the single-supply SE configuration shown in Figure 23. A coupling capacitor is required to block the
dc offset voltage from reaching the load. These capacitors can be quite large (approximately 33 µF to 1000 µF),
so they tend to be expensive, heavy, occupy valuable PCB area, and have the additional drawback of limiting
low-frequency performance of the system. This frequency limiting effect is due to the high-pass filter network
created with the speaker impedance and the coupling capacitance and is calculated using equation 6.

For example, a 68-µF capacitor with an 8-Ω speaker would attenuate low frequencies below 293 Hz. The BTL
configuration cancels the dc offsets, which eliminates the need for the blocking capacitors. Low-frequency
performance is then limited only by the input network and speaker response. Cost and PCB space are also
minimized by eliminating the bulky coupling capacitor.

bridged-tied load versus single-ended mode (continued)
Increasing power to the load does carry a penalty of increased internal power dissipation. The increased
dissipation is understandable considering that the BTL configuration produces 4× the output power of the SE
configuration. Internal dissipation versus output power is discussed further in the crest factor and thermal
considerations section.
single-ended operation
In SE mode, the load is driven from the primary amplifier output for each channel (OUT+, terminals 2 and 12).
The amplifier switches single-ended operation when the SE/BTL terminal is held high. This puts the negative
outputs in a high-impedance state and reduces the amplifier’s gain to 1 V/V.
BTL amplifier efficiency
Class-AB amplifiers are inefficient. The primary cause of these inefficiencies is voltage drop across the output
stage transistors. There are two components of the internal voltage drop. One is the headroom or dc voltage
drop that varies inversely to output power. The second component is due to the sinewave nature of the output.
The total voltage drop can be calculated by subtracting the RMS value of the output voltage from VDD. The
internal voltage drop multiplied by the RMS value of the supply current (IDDrms) determines the internal power
dissipation of the amplifier.
An easy-to-use equation to calculate efficiency starts out as being equal to the ratio of power from the power
supply to the power delivered to the load. To accurately calculate the RMS and average values of power in the
load and in the amplifier, the current and voltage waveform shapes must first be understood (see Figure 24).

Figure 24. Voltage and Current Waveforms for BTL Amplifiers
Although the voltages and currents for SE and BTL are sinusoidal in the load, currents from the supply are very
different between SE and BTL configurations. In an SE application the current waveform is a half-wave rectified
shape, whereas in BTL it is a full-wave rectified waveform. This means RMS conversion factors are different.
Keep in mind that for most of the waveform both the push and pull transistors are not on at the same time, which
supports the fact that each amplifier in the BTL device only draws current from the supply for half the waveform.
The following equations are the basis for calculating amplifier efficiency.

Table 2 employs equation 8 to calculate efficiencies for four different output power levels. Note that the efficiency
of the amplifier is quite low for lower power levels and rises sharply as power to the load is increased resulting
in a nearly flat internal power dissipation over the normal operating range. Note that the internal dissipation at
full output power is less than in the half power range. Calculating the efficiency for a specific system is the key
to proper power supply design. For a stereo 1-W audio system with 8-Ω loads and a 5-V supply, the maximum
draw on the power supply is almost 3.25 W.

A final point to remember about class-AB amplifiers (either SE or BTL) is how to manipulate the terms in the
efficiency equation to the utmost advantage when possible. Note that in equation 8, VDD is in the denominator.
This indicates that as VDD goes down, efficiency goes up.

crest factor and thermal considerations
Class-AB power amplifiers dissipate a significant amount of heat in the package under normal operating
conditions. A typical music CD requires 12 dB to 15 dB of dynamic range, or headroom above the average power
output, to pass the loudest portions of the signal without distortion. In other words, music typically has a crest
factor between 12 dB and 15 dB. When determining the optimal ambient operating temperature, the internal
dissipated power at the average output power level must be used. When the TPA0172 is operating from a 5-V
supply into a 3-Ω speaker, 4-W peaks are available. To convert watts to dB use equation 9.

Subtracting the headroom restriction to obtain the average listening level without distortion yields:

6 dB – 12 dB = –6 dB (12-dB crest factor)
6 dB – 9 dB = –3 dB (9-dB crest factor)
6 dB – 6 dB = 0 dB (6-dB crest factor)
6 dB – 3 dB = 3 dB (3-dB crest factor)
To convert dB back to watts use equation 10.

This is valuable information to consider when attempting to estimate the heat dissipation requirements for the
amplifier system. Comparing the absolute worst case, which is 2 W of continuous power output with a 3-dB crest
factor, against 12-dB and 15-dB applications drastically affects maximum ambient temperature ratings for the
system. Using the power dissipation curves for a 5-V, 3-Ω system, the internal dissipation in the TPA0172 and
maximum ambient temperatures are shown in Table 3.

The maximum dissipated power (PD(max)) is reached at a much lower output power level for an 8-Ω load than
for a 3-Ω load. As a result, use equation 11 for calculating PD(max) for an 8-Ω application.

However, in the case of a 3-Ω load, the PD(max) occurs at a point well above the normal operating power level.
The amplifier may therefore be operated at a higher ambient temperature than required by the PD(max) formula
for a 3-Ω load.
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor
for the PWP package is shown in the dissipation rating table. To convert this to ΘJA use equation 12.

To calculate maximum ambient temperatures, first consider that the numbers from the dissipation graphs are
per channel so the dissipated power needs to be doubled for two channel operation. Given the maximum
allowable junction temperature (ΘJA) and the total internal dissipation, the maximum ambient temperature can
be calculated using equation 13. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the TPA0172 is 150°C.
The internal dissipation figures are taken from the power dissipation vs output power graphs.

NOTE:
Internal dissipation of 0.6 W is estimated for a 2-W system with 15-dB crest factor per channel.
Tables 3 and 4 show that for some applications no airflow is required to keep junction temperatures in the
specified range. The TPA0172 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction
temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Tables 3 and 4 were calculated for maximum
listening volume without distortion. When the output level is reduced, the numbers in the table change
significantly. Also, using 8-Ω speakers significantly increases the thermal performance by increasing amplifier
efficiency.

SE/BTL operation
The ability of the TPA0172 to easily switch between BTL and SE modes is one of its most important cost saving
features. This feature eliminates the requirement for an additional headphone amplifier in applications where
internal stereo speakers are driven in BTL mode but external headphone or speakers must be accommodated.
Internal to the TPA0172, two separate amplifiers drive OUT+ and OUT–. The SE/BTL input controls the
operation of the follower amplifier that drives LOUT– and ROUT–. When SE/BTL is held low, the amplifier is
on and the TPA0172 is in the BTL mode. When SE/BTL is held high, the OUT– amplifiers are in a high output
impedance state, which configures the TPA0172 as an SE driver for LOUT+ and ROUT+. IDD is reduced by
approximately one-half in SE mode. Control of the SE/BTL input can be from a logic-level CMOS source (see
recommended operating conditions for levels) or, more typically, from a resistor divider network as shown in
Figure 25.
The SE/BTL pin also selects the audio input and gain registers. When SE/BTL is held low, the RLINEIN input
is selected and the BTL gain register values are used to set the gain of the input signal. When SE/BTL is held
high, the RHPIN input is selected and the SE gain register values are used to set the gain. Table 5 shows the
operation of the SE/BTL input pin in selecting different modes of operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SE/BTL operation (continued)
Using a 1/8-in. (3,5 mm) stereo headphone jack, the control switch is closed when no plug is inserted. When
closed, the 100-kΩ/1-kΩ divider pulls the SE/BTL input low. When a plug is inserted, the 1-kΩ resistor is
disconnected and the SE/BTL input is pulled high. When the input goes high, the OUT– amplifier is shut down
causing the speaker to mute (virtually open-circuits the speaker). The OUT+ amplifier then drives through the
output capacitor (CO) into the headphone jack.
PC-BEEP operation
The PC-BEEP input allows a system beep to be sent directly from a computer through the amplifier to the
speakers with few external components. The input is normally activated automatically but may be selected
manually through the I2C interface. Refer to the I2C interface section. When the PC-BEEP input is active, both
of the LINEIN and HPIN inputs are deselected and both the left and right channels are driven in BTL mode with
the signal from PC-BEEP. The gain from the PC-BEEP input to the speakers is fixed at 0.3 V/V and is
independent of the volume setting. When the PC-BEEP input is deselected, the amplifier will return to the
previous operating mode and volume setting. Furthermore, if the amplifier is in shutdown mode, activating
PC-BEEP will take the device out of shutdown and output the PC-BEEP signal, and then return the amplifier
to shutdown mode.
In auto-detect mode, the amplifier will automatically switch to PC-BEEP mode after detecting a valid signal at
the PC-BEEP input. The preferred input signal is a square wave or pulse train with an amplitude of 1 Vpp or
greater. To be accurately detected, the signal must have a minimum of 1-Vpp amplitude, rise and fall times of
less than 0.1 µs, and a minimum of eight rising edges. When the signal is no longer detected, the amplifier will
return to its previous operating mode and volume setting.
When manually selected, the PC-BEEP input is selected, and the LINEIN and HPIN inputs are deactivated
regardless of the input signal.
If it is desired to ac couple the PC-BEEP input, the value of the coupling capacitor should be chosen to satisfy
the following equation:
C PCB
w 2p f
1
PCB (100 kW)
(14)
The PC-BEEP input can also be dc coupled to avoid using this coupling capacitor. The pin normally sits at midrail
when no signal is present.

shutdown modes
The TPA0172 employs a shutdown mode of operation designed to reduce supply current (IDD) to the absolute
minimum level during periods of nonuse for battery-power conservation. The SHUTDOWN input terminal
should be held high during normal operation when the amplifier is in use. Pulling SHUTDOWN low causes the
outputs to mute and the amplifier to enter a low-current state (IDD = 15 µA). SHUTDOWN should never be left
unconnected because amplifier operation would be unpredictable.
The external SHUTDOWN pin may also be disabled and its function controlled through the I2C interface. Refer
to the I2C interface section.
I2C interface
The I2C interface is used to access the internal registers of the TPA0172. This two pin interface consists of one
clock line (SCL) and one serial data line (SDA). The basic I2C access cycles are shown in Figure 26.
The basic access cycle consists of the following:
D

D

A start condition
A slave address cycle
Any number of data cycles
A stop condition
SDA
SCL
Start Condition (S)
Stop Condition (P)
Figure 26. I2C Start and Stop Conditions
The start and stop conditions are shown in Figure 26. The high-to-low transition of SDA while SCL is high,
defines the start condition. The low-to-high transition of SDA while SCL is high, defines the stop condition. Each
cycle, data, or address consists of 8 bits of serial data followed by one acknowledge bit generated by the
receiving device. Thus, each data/address cycle contains nine bits as shown in Figure 27.

WITH I2C BUS
SLOS327C – AUGUST 2000 – REVISED MAY 2001
APPLICATION INFORMATION
As indicated in Figure 27, following a start condition, each I2C device decodes the slave address. The TPA0172
responds with an acknowledge by pulling the SDA line low during the ninth clock cycle, if it decodes the address
as its address.
During a write cycle, the transmitting device must not drive the SDA signal line during the acknowledge cycle
so that the receiving device may drive the SDA signal low. After each byte transfer following the address byte,
the receiving device will pull the SDA line low for one SCL clock cycle. A stop condition will be initiated by the
transmitting device after the last byte is transferred. An example of a write cycle can be found in Figure 28 and
Figure 29.
During a read cycle, the slave receiver will acknowledge the initial address byte if it decodes the address as its
address. Following this initial acknowledge by the slave, the master device becomes a receiver and
acknowledges data bytes sent by the slave. When the master has received all of the requested data bytes from
the slave, the not acknowledge (A) condition is initiated by the master by keeping the SDA signal high just before
it asserts the stop (P) condition. This sequence terminates a read cycle as shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31.

I2C operation specific to the TPA0172 device
The TPA0172 operates using only a multiple byte transfer protocol as shown in Figures 29 and 31. The six
internal registers and the functionality of each can be found in Table 6. When writing to the device, all 6 bytes
corresponding to all six registers must be sent to the device in a single multiple byte transfer. During a read cycle,
the TPA0172 will send 6 bytes in a single transfer to the master device requesting the information.

gain register operation
The gain of the TPA0172 ranges from 20 dB to –60 dB in 64 1.25-dB steps. At power-up, both the right and left
channels are set at –60 dB. The truth table shown in Table 8 gives examples of valid values that may be read
from or written to the four gain setting registers. Note that the amplifier is muted if either bit 7 or bit 6 is set.
Furthermore, to avoid any unwanted clicks or pops, the gain settings should not be changed until the amplifier
has completed the power-up sequence, which can be determined by monitoring bit 7 of the mask register. When
the bit goes to 0, the power-up sequence is complete.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
mask register operation
The mask register allows the user to select whether SHUTDOWN, SE/BTL, and PC-BEEP are to be controlled
by the external pins or by the internal control register. Since PC-BEEP does not have an external control pin
available, writing a 1 to this bit will disable all internal register control and place the PC-BEEP input in auto-detect
mode. When a bit is set, the corresponding internal control register bit is masked or ignored and the external
pin controls the operating mode. Conversely, when a bit is set to 0, the corresponding external pin is disabled
and the internal control register bit determines the operating mode. For example, writing XXXXX010 to the
register allows the control register to control the operation of the PC-BEEP input and SHUTDOWN, while
allowing the external pin to control SE/BTL.
The MSB of the mask register is read-only. It is set when the TPA0172 is executing its power-up sequence and
is set to 0 upon completion of the sequence and during normal operation. To avoid any unwanted clicks or pops,
the gain registers should not be changed while this bit is set.
control register operation
Each bit of the control register allows the user to control the operating mode of the TPA0172, as shown in

Bit 0 operates in the same manner as the external SHUTDOWN pin, but the logic is active high in the internal

Bit 1 allows the user to select the input source. If bit 1 of the mask register is set, however, the HP/LINE function
is tied to the external SE/BTL pin.
Bit 2 should always be set to 0. Reserved for future functionality.
Bit 3 performs the same mute function as setting either bit 6 or 7 in the gain registers.
Bit 4 should always be set to 1. Reserved for future functionality.
Bit 5 operates in the same manner as the external SE/BTL pin.
Bit 6 allows the user to select which gain registers will determine the gain settings for each channel. For example,
the amplifier may be configured to operate in SE mode, but with the gain settings taken from the BTL registers.
This function is tied to the SE/BTL pin if bit 1 of the mask register is set, which results in the SE gain registers
controlling the gain in SE mode, and the BTL registers controlling the gain in BTL mode.
Bit 7 allows the user to either auto-detect a signal at the PC-BEEP input or manually override that input to always
be on.
